Method Detail

getInstructionNameCode

public int getInstructionNameCode()

Get the name of this instruction for diagnostic and tracing purposes

Overrides:

getInstructionNameCode in class Instruction

Returns:

the string "saxon:while"

getActionExpression

public Expression getActionExpression()

Get the action expression (the content of the for-each)

typeCheck

public Expression typeCheck(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                   ContextItemStaticInfo contextInfo)
                     throws XPathException

Description copied from class: Expression

Perform type checking of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the second phase of static optimization.

This checks statically that the operands of the expression have the correct type; if necessary it generates code to do run-time type checking or type conversion. A static type error is reported only if execution cannot possibly succeed, that is, if a run-time type error is inevitable. The call may return a modified form of the expression.

This method is called after all references to functions and variables have been resolved to the declaration of the function or variable. However, the types of such functions and variables may not be accurately known if they have not been explicitly declared.

If the implementation returns a value other than "this", then it is required to ensure that the location information in the returned expression have been set up correctly. It should not rely on the caller to do this, although for historical reasons many callers do so.

Overrides:

typeCheck in class Expression

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

contextInfo - Information available statically about the context item: whether it is (possibly) absent; its static type; its streaming posture.

Returns:

the original expression, rewritten to perform necessary run-time type checks, and to perform other type-related optimizations

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

optimize

public Expression optimize(ExpressionVisitor visitor,
                  ContextItemStaticInfo contextItemType)
                    throws XPathException

Description copied from class: Expression

Perform optimisation of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the third and final phase of static optimization.

This method is called after all references to functions and variables have been resolved to the declaration of the function or variable, and after all type checking has been done.

Overrides:

optimize in class Expression

Parameters:

visitor - an expression visitor

contextItemType - the static type of "." at the point where this expression is invoked. The parameter is set to null if it is known statically that the context item will be undefined. If the type of the context item is not known statically, the argument is set to Type.ITEM_TYPE

Returns:

the original expression, rewritten if appropriate to optimize execution

Throws:

XPathException - if an error is discovered during this phase (typically a type error)

copy

public Expression copy()

Copy an expression. This makes a deep copy.

Specified by:

copy in class Expression

Returns:

the copy of the original expression

getItemType

public ItemType getItemType()

Get the item type of the items returned by evaluating this instruction

Overrides:

getItemType in class Instruction

Returns:

the static item type of the instruction

promoteInst

protected void promoteInst(PromotionOffer offer)
                    throws XPathException

Handle promotion offers, that is, non-local tree rewrites.

Overrides:

promoteInst in class Instruction

Parameters:

offer - The type of rewrite being offered

Throws:

XPathException

createsNewNodes

public final boolean createsNewNodes()

Determine whether this instruction creates new nodes. This implementation returns true if the "action" creates new nodes. (Nodes created by the condition can't contribute to the result).

Overrides:

createsNewNodes in class Instruction

Returns:

true if the instruction creates new nodes (or if it can't be proved that it doesn't)

operands

public Iterable<Operand> operands()

Get the immediate sub-expressions of this expression, with information about the relationship of each expression to its parent expression. Default implementation returns a zero-length array, appropriate for an expression that has no sub-expressions.

Overrides:

operands in class Expression

Returns:

an iterator containing the sub-expressions of this expression

replaceOperand

public boolean replaceOperand(Expression original,
                     Expression replacement)

Replace one subexpression by a replacement subexpression

Overrides:

replaceOperand in class Expression

Parameters:

original - the original subexpression

replacement - the replacement subexpression

Returns:

true if the original subexpression is found

processLeavingTail

public TailCall processLeavingTail(XPathContext context)
                            throws XPathException

Description copied from class: Instruction

ProcessLeavingTail: called to do the real work of this instruction. This method must be implemented in each subclass. The results of the instruction are written to the current Receiver, which can be obtained via the Controller.

Specified by:

processLeavingTail in interface TailCallReturner

Specified by:

processLeavingTail in class Instruction

Parameters:

context - The dynamic context of the transformation, giving access to the current node, the current variables, etc.

Returns:

null if the instruction has completed execution; or a TailCall indicating a function call or template call that is delegated to the caller, to be made after the stack has been unwound so as to save stack space.

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs during the evaluation of the instruction

getExpressionCompiler

public ExpressionCompiler getExpressionCompiler()

Return the compiler of the While expression

Overrides:

getExpressionCompiler in class Expression

Returns:

the relevant ExpressionCompiler

explain

public void explain(ExpressionPresenter out)

Diagnostic print of expression structure. The abstract expression tree is written to the supplied output destination.

Specified by:

explain in class Expression

Parameters:

out - the expression presenter used to display the structure
